Eli Junior Kroupi, an 18-year-old attacker from FC Lorient, has joined Bournemouth.
For the remainder of the 2024–25 season, he will stay on loan at the French team.
With nine goals and two assists in 17 games this season, Kroupi has been playing well.
The technical director, Simon Francis, stated, “We’re very excited to sign somebody with such potential.”
“Junior aligns with the club’s philosophy of nurturing young athletes and providing them with a stage on which to excel.
“Junior’s career has been brief, but he has already played a variety of attacking positions and contributed to many goals.”
“He’s shown a high level of natural technical ability and awareness for a player so young, and the speed in which he has adapted to senior football has been very encouraging.”
